With horror, science-fiction and fantasy, action, and even cult and midnight offerings, the fest prides itself on being an eclectic mixtape of genres and filmmakers.
Of the thirteen features selected this year, there are two world premieres, one North American premiere, one U.S. premieres, one east coast premiere, four regional premieres, and four Virginia premieres and a special advance screening.

Christopher G. Moore hit Nc Comic-Con this weekend with his brilliant mashup cosplay "Doctor Stranger Things." Using Stranger Things' Eleven as a base, Moore added elements of Doctor Strange, like his signature white temples the cloak of levitation. Then elements were combined, like the Eye of Agamotto and Eggos becoming the Eye of EggOmoto (H/T: Laughing Squid). An energy shield combined with Christmas lights is an extra touch of brilliance. All we need now is someone to make a Dormammu and Demogorgon cosplay mash-up. But what would we call that, Demomammu or Dormogorgon?

The TromaDance film festival makes it into puberty with their 13th annual edition and you won’t want to miss where they’ve grown some hair on May 4-5 at Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park, New Jersey. It’s two days of hormone-fueled short films, voice-changing features and a star-studded panel discussion.
Two features will be screening at the fest: Steven Kostanski‘s VHS throwback action sci-fi horror flick Manborg and the Trost brothers’ dance-fight video game frenzy The Fp.
The rest of TromaDance is stuffed to the gills with disturbing, grotesque and just downright freaky short films, including Greg Hanson‘s garbage disposal love story Sinkhole and Aaron Zegher‘s ghostly I See a Light. Short film blocks are broken down by theme, such as “Monsters,” “Zombies,” “Madness” and an absolutely not-for-kids “Saturday Morning Cartoons” collection.
Plus, on Saturday evening, there will be a panel discussion on the marketing...
